I was elected as Mid Suffolk District Councillor (Green Party) on 25th March 2010 and was re-elected, uncontested, in May 2011 and again in May 2015. I represent the ward of Haughley and Wetherden and am one of 40 councillors in Mid Suffolk.

As a Green Party councillor I belong to the Green Party Group on the Council and there are six councillors in this group. From May 2018 I am the Leader of this group. As the main opposition group we hold the Overview & Scrutiny Committee and one of our members chairs this. I held this post from 2011 to 2018.

In September 2017 I was appointed to the Local Government Association’s Environment, Economy, Housing & Transport Board. I sit in the Independent Group of councillors and am a Deputy Chair on that Board.
